  • Support - Great image, I wish it were not buried in the article. I guess there is a bias to show them the species in butterfly form instead of caterpillar form. I wonder if it's worth including these forms in the infobox one day... Mattximus (talk) 00:02, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • If the appearance of an imago is easy to determine this is not the case of the caterpillars, because there are several stages of development which are very different from the appearance of the terminal stage. The collections of specimens mounted for caterpillars exist but are long to prepare it is necessary to blow the caterpillar with a small straw to restore its volume ... it is almost a universe apart that does not interest much of 'entomology. It seems likely that we can use these images in the infobox, but it is useful to show them in the article. Thank you for this appointment. --Archaeodontosaurus (talk) 05:15, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
